[patch 02/52] [PATCH] Improve address space mode selection.

From: Martin Schwidefsky
Date: Fri Nov 13 2009 - 10:17:36 EST


From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce user_mode to replace the two variables switch_amode and
s390_noexec. There are three valid combinations of the old values:
1) switch_amode == 0 && s390_noexec == 0
2) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 0
3) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 1
They get replaced by
1) user_mode == HOME_SPACE_MODE
2) user_mode == PRIMARY_SPACE_MODE
3) user_mode == SECONDARY_SPACE_MODE
The new kernel parameter user_mode=[primary,secondary,home] lets
you choose the address space mode the user space processes should
use. In addition the CONFIG_S390_SWITCH_AMODE config option
is removed.

-config S390_SWITCH_AMODE
- bool "Switch kernel/user addressing modes"
- help
- This option allows to switch the addressing modes of kernel and user
- space. The kernel parameter switch_amode=on will enable this feature,
- default is disabled. Enabling this (via kernel parameter) on machines
- earlier than IBM System z9-109 EC/BC will reduce system performance.
-
- Note that this option will also be selected by selecting the execute
- protection option below. Enabling the execute protection via the
- noexec kernel parameter will also switch the addressing modes,
- independent of the switch_amode kernel parameter.

This option allows to enable a buffer overflow protection for user
space programs and it also selects the addressing mode option above.
